I hired The Wagoner Firm to represent me in a dispute with my business partner. Without even going to court, Matt and the team advocated aggressively for me and negotiated a settlement that got me exactly what I was after and what I was owed. They were on top of things, kept me updated, were always available to answer my questions and didn't back down when things got tough. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for strong legal counsel.

I connected with Matt at the Wagoner Firm and he was quick to respond, helpful, and easy to talk to. He helped me justify my issues at work and reached a settlement with the opposing party without filing a lawsuit within just a few short months. I highly recommend this firm. If I am ever in need of legal advise again I know where to go.

I contacted Matt at The Wagoner Firm after my employer failed to hold my position while I was away serving on Active Duty. Matt was very receptive to the situation and got to work both quickly, and efficiently.  Without filing any lawsuit, we quickly achieved a settlement that made me feel like justice was served.  Matt was very professional, made things super easy, and was very dedicated to my case. By far the best lawyer I've worked with, and I definitely recommend him to anyone!

Matt Toporowski, from the Wagoner Firm, was the light at the end of a very long tunnel for my husband and I. We hired a large retail construction store to build a large and expensive deck. The problems started at the very beginning with this company and the construction company they outsourced the project to. For over a year, we received no answers, continually got the run around and ended up with a deck that was not up to code, not what we asked for and would not pass inspection. This company was unwilling to make any concessions to live up to their contract. Not only did Matt negotiate a full refund for the deck, he also accomplished getting us extra money just in case it cost us more to have have our brought up to code deck and safe. He is truly phenomenal. Matt and the Wagoner firm were responsive, always available for any questions and kept us up to date on all the steps and progress as it happened. I would recommend Matt and the Wagoner firm again and again.

Hired Matthew for a felony case and he had a good grasp of the case, the police mindset, and the court and the likely outcome immediately. He showed up at the court a day later, and early to do the meeting with the prosecutor and was able to get it dismissed before I arrived. His rates were reasonable and service professional, punctual, and efficient - I would highly recommend him to all

From my first conversation with Matthew I was extremely impressed by his professionalism and knowledge about my DWI case. I was dealing with a very difficult aggravated DWI and had tremendous stress and anxiety considering my livelihood as a salesman relies on my ability to drive. Matthew did an excellent job of explaining my options and even reached out to the DA's office before even taking a penny for a retainer. We reviewed all of my options and more importantly the chances I realistically had of getting my case reduced down to either a DWI or DWAI. If you are looking for an honest, hardworking, and dedicated attorney, Matthew is your man!

Matt was very professional and easy to work with. He made it easy to understand what my options were when dealing with two very high point valued driving violation tickets I received a few months back. Matt was able to get my court date adjourned to a more convenient date for me and made the process as easy and pain free as possible. Most importantly Matt was able to negotiate down both tickets to one small infraction, saving me money with my insurance and the fines I would have been charged by the court.
